Miles has steadily improved in all things that make wide receivers better including catching with his hands.

What a tired and lazy criticism.

I was actually lamenting the days when Miles was here and we had a WR (not named Dez) that actually caught balls away from his body. With TWill it almost has to be a perfect throw.

I believe he mistakingly put Miles but meant to put Williams.

Williams is a good receiver that catches a high percentage of passes thrown his way. When you're fourth or fifth in line for targets on a team, you're not going to put up huge numbers.

FYI...I seem to recall hearing Miles helps out with our staff, I could be wrong though.

I am most interested in Marion Barber. Two years ago, news was out that he was on the verge of losing his mind and I haven't heard a peep about him since.

He's been out of the league since the end of the 2015 season.

He averaged 345 yards receiving over the last 3 years in the league.

Clearly the never-ending array of lower body injuries (hamstrings) effectively destroyed his career.

It's a shame -- it's exactly the type of injury that quite possible there isn't a single thing a player can do to prevent it from happening. Seemed like a RKG too.

I can't say enough good things about Miles Austin.

I hate that his career ended the way it did. It was very frustrating and conflicting to be a fan and watch him struggle.

I'll always remember him as the homegrown savior of our 2009 season.

And I was lamenting that saying it has to be a perfect throw to TWill for him to make the catch is such a tired and lazy criticism
